Lanlivery (Cornish: Lannlivri) is a village and civil parish in Cornwall, United Kingdom. The village is located approximately 1½ miles (2 km) west of Lostwithiel and five miles (8 km) south of Bodmin.[1]
Other settlements in the parish of Lanlivery include Redmoor, Sweetshouse, Milltown and Tangier (now a suburb of Lostwithiel). The manor of Penkneth was one of the original 17 Antiqua maneria of the Duchy of Cornwall and the Saints' Way runs past Lanlivery.[2] At Pelyn is a 17th century house which was formerly the seat of the family of Kendall. It was originally E-shaped but only one side survives and the centre was completely redone in the early Victorian period.[3]
Churchtown, a holiday centre for adults and children with physical and learning disabilities, is located in Lanlivery and is run by the national charity Vitalise.[4]
The parish church is dedicated to St Brevita or Bryvyth, a saint of whom nothing is known. The building was originally cruciform but was enlarged in the 15th century by the addition of a magnificent tower and the south aisle. The churches of Lostwithiel and Luxulyan were originally chapelries dependent on Lanlivery.[5] "One of the great churches of Cornwall" according to John Betjeman.[6]
